Hi.

I used to have a desktop shortcut direct to Gameboomers - via Firefox - but I've forgotten how I made it and now I can only create one using IE !!

[Clicking and dragging the address won't work with Firefox woozy]

Can someone help me out, please ??

Thanks.

You can still create a desktop shortcut in Firefox... not sure why it isn't working for you. I just did one for GB in Firefox to be sure. Make sure you are dragging the little symbol to the left of the URL and not the URL itself. Does this help from the Firefox support site?

Hi Draclvr smile

I had been at the correct spot but not performing the correct action ....

When I mouse hovered over the spot, the message said "show site information" but when I then clicked on the spot with the L mouse button, the message said "www.gameboomers.com Connection is Not Secure" !! eek

Plus, if I clicked and dragged with the R mouse button absolutely nothing happened - but - if I clicked and dragged with the L mouse button, I was able to create a shortcut to desktop.

Phew and Thanks !!

Oh, dear! Yes, you definitely click and drag with the L mouse button... Glad you got your shortcut back!
